Torn crawlers are annoying

Not sure how others feel about them, but Torn crawlers (the troll creature popping out of the ground suddenly) in my opinion are annoying as hell. They pop up, and if I wasn’t running, or dodge immediately, they grab me and kill me almost instantly. I see no indication of them being there, no warning at all, and at least 50hp is gone immediately (~800 armor).
Maybe their first attack shouldn’t be so brutal, or maybe they shouldn’t stun you immediately… I don’t know what’s the solution, but in their current form, easily the most annoying creature for me.

it makes specific sound before it comes but i still always get hit by it and its very deadly :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve got 70 hours in and I have yet to dodge the initial attack. It could use some sort of visual que like the dirt building up for half a second before she pops out.

same here.
Worst enemy in game - not a bad thing of course, like the design but the one hit kill throw attack is to heavy.

Shouldn’t have to rely solely on sound to dodge enemies, though. Some players may be deaf or hard of hearing.

I’ve never dodged the initial attack, either. Even if I know there are some that are supposed to be in the area (from a daily quest, or whatever).

I am too easy to get startled - but this enemy is the reason I don’t want to continue playing :sleepy:

Would just like to chime in that Torn Crawlers are the worst.

I have never managed to dodge the initial attack, not even close.

Their animation also seem to be bugged when they try to dive back under ground.

I have a feeling that some of its attacks, maybe the grab move, is doing “% of max health” damage. Because it feels just as dangerous meeting this thing on a decked out 30lvl char as it does on a lower and poorer geared char.

I hate him as well but I think the worst part is how the attack timings are so close together. You can easily be interrupted all the way to your death if you attack him like he was a regular mob and don’t try to parry, it never works. I usually try to dodge and use a fast acting Rune Attack. That usually take him out.
